Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that I recently bought a pair of Klipsch CP-1 (Cornwall Pros). I have done the following to refurbish them: - added stiffening strips - two coats of black duratex everywhere except the faces - new binding posts - new Crites titanium diaphragms - deadening materials on the horns - new foam gaskets for all drivers, handles, terminal cups -new wheel casters Im going to get them positioned properly this weekend and give them a better listen.

Well beyond my electrical knowledge so I’ll trust you. Thanks!!!

Good to know, and no I want to make sure these speakers last beyond my time if possible.

Sorry, I will likely keep the fuse sizes per your advice but thought I would ask.

The K-44 woofer is rated at 200w rms, the pro version differs from a normal Lascala, Khorn, Cornwall woofer.

Thanks for the info, as Glen said above I guess “amps is amps”. I have to go off what you guys tell me because I honestly do not know and could not find 120volt fuses in that style and amperage.

Thanks, I will for sure.

I believe the wire you speak of is just a cobweb. The speakers were listened to for about 6-7 songs. I brought my Carver PM2.0t and really cranked it. One fuse blew on one speaker cutting out a woofer and another fuse went on another speaker cutting out the tweet and mid. They were playing ridiculously loud so I suppose the fuses did as they should to protect the drivers. I intend on bracing up the cabinets, fixing the binding posts and painting the exterior to freshen these up. The grills are in good condition, just need a heavy lint rolling to remove some debris/dirt and cat hair.

Hey everyone, I just got an amazing deal on a pair of Klipsch CP-1 Pro (Cornwall) speakers. During testing I blew a 1-1/2amp and 3amp fuse. The fellow I bought them off of happened to have spares, but I am wondering where I can buy replacements if I need them. The guy I bought from said they were 120volt fast blow fuses and he said to make sure I don’t get 12volt ones. When I try to find 1.5amp and 3amp AGC fuses the are all 250volt. Can someone direct me to where I can buy these things? Should they be 250v not 120v? I really don’t think the drivers were over stressed, could the values be changed to 2amp and 4amp? Thank you,

Changed mind about sale (for now)

Interesting, never knew that. Thanks for the information!

Glen, I think you have it reverse. 102 should be louder.

I have a subwoofer. I just hate having what is considered a fairly decent speaker and having to run a sub to get any amount of appreciable bass. Just seems wrong considering Ive read and watched so many reviews saying that an RF7 will shake a house or are fine without a sub.

I have not heard them yet, I would not buy them without hearing them. I can definitely fix any cabinet/binding post issues no problem.

There are a pair Klipsch CP-1 (pro Cornwalls) for sale about 90 minutes away from me for $1000 CAD ($775 USD). They are a bit banged up but function as they should. I think i can get them for $8/900 ($625-$700usd). Is this a good deal? Want to replace my RF5 and RF7s as I was not impressed with the bass either are putting out.

@wuzzzer Thank you for the information, I am thinking that the foam might be affecting the performance and I need to place it back on the sides. The speakers are currently positioned (including both the RF7s and RF5s) as shown in the picture. regards

I recently bought some Klipsch RF7’s (first version) and removed the horns to add sound deadening material on them and also removed a bottom woofer just to inspect the cabinet integrity. I noticed that there were pieces of egg crate foam resting almost against the tuning ports for the cabinet and there was also foam at the top of the cabinet folded fairly tight and stuffed up there. My question is if this is the normal placements for the foam pieces or if they have fallen/shifted over time, do they need to be moved. I am not super pleased with them and the amount of bass is way less than what I have read about, I found they were only a marginal improvement over the RF5s. They are being driven with two Bryston 4Bs in bridged mono configuration. There is no way I would run them without a subwoofer. Room is 16’w x 36’l x 7’8”h. Speakers placed approximately 1 foot off the wall. thanks,
